1 Inland shipping in the Netherlands General overview and cases Paul van de Lande Amsterdam Consultants, The Netherlands Contents The position of inland shipping The container case The orange juice case 1

2 Inland shipping in the world Transport issues Congestion and accessibility Climate change and CO 2 -emission Dependence on fossil fuels Scarcity of space Air quality Safety Modal shift from road to inland navigation benificial for society and companies 2

3 Freight flows per capita Inland freight flows (all modes) 3

4 Modal split in the relevant countries Modal split per distance category 4

5 The inland navigation network Accessibility of inland navigation Glasgow Bergen Oslo Stockholm Göteborg Dublin Kopenhagen Malmö Manchester Birmingham Amsterdam Hamburg Hannover Southampton London Rotterdam Berlijn Duinkerken Antwerpen Brussel Dortmund Poznan Warschau Le Havre Lille Keulen Dresden Parijs Frankfurt Praag Neurenberg Katowice Nantes Straatsburg Stuttgart Ostrava Linz Wenen Brno Basel Munchen Bern Lyon Graz Gyor Boedapest Bordeaux Milaan Bilbao Venetië Porto Genua Marseille Sarajevo Lissabon Madrid Barcelona Belgrado Rome Valencia Sevilla Constanza Main Industry areas Accessibility by water Missing links 5

6 Transport distance with 5 l / tonne Types of vessels 6

7 The container case Containerisation world wide growth New markets and globalisation Immense increase containers in mainports Europe (Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg) Road transport insufficient for hinterland transport Barge and rail competitors for hinterland transport Barge strong on distances between 50 and 500 km Container vessels 32 TEU 500 TEU 7

8 Container terminals Network of app. 100 European inland container terminals Mainly on Rhine corridor Daily services Increase of services in small waterways Congestion in deepsea terminals Innovative services Container services on short distances Self-unloading ships Network concepts 8

9 Short distance service reefers Reefer service from Rotterdam APM to Barendrecht (fruit centre) Via terminal in Ridderhaven 50 km barge, 2 km endhaulage 800 containers/week Daily service with small container vessel APM terminal procedures need adaptation Self unloading vessel Medium-sized container ship On-board crane Capable of (un)loading containers at small terminals/clients No wall cranes required, low costs Round-trip services 9

10 Network concepts Waterslag: pushbarge concept on small waterways Distrivaart: pallet transport in roundtrip New chances for inland shipping by consolidation of goods Old situation Future situation Seaport ROC BSC Seaport ROC BSC 10

11 The orange juice case Cutrale terminal in Rotterdam tonnes per year Inland transport by road: 400 trucks per week Extreme long waiting time: > 4 hours Congestion in hinterland Objectives case study Determine the technical, operational and organisational feasibility for a barge service for the transport of frozen orange juice concentrate (FCOJ) Identify potential partners and their flows Define recommendations for the implementation of the service 11

13 The bulk concept Ship type: Kempenaar: 50 x 6,6 x 2,5 m, 600 tonnes, class II Capacity: app tonnes, 2 or 3 tanks Typical service: 1 client per roundtrip FCOJ only, NFC more complicated Few companies directly at waterfront Milk ship, to be adapted for orange concentrate 13

14 Economical aspects Model calculations: assumptions 3 port terminals: Antwerp, Rotterdam, Gent 2 companies: Oosterhout, Amsterdam Options: tank trailer, tank containers, bulk ship 3 sizes bulk ship: 600, 1000 and 1200 tonnes Annual costs ship: tot euro Unloading speed: 50 or 100 tonnes/h 60 h per week operational 100 % empty leg, 100 % modal shift Economic viable with two companies participating > truck movements avoided Conditions for a service Optimal capacity ship app. 600 tonnes (ship weight app. 900 tonnes (class II waterways) Ships with high energy efficiency required No endhaulage High unloading capacity barges (100 tonnes per hour) Maximum distance to storage/production facility: m 14

15 Epilogue Inland shipping is ready for the future Reduction of the emission of particles and NOx is a major challenge New capacity required Congestion free!
